How much does a bullet decelerate each time it hits an object?
This will depend upon what it hits, what type of bullet it is, the angle of impact, the angle of reflection, if any rotation or torsion is placed upon the bullet, the depth of the impacted object, etc. The deceleration can vary from 100% (the bullet stops) to less than 1% (practically no energy lost) depending upon the interaction of the above variables.
What is the function of the metal casing and tip?
I presume you mean for a bullet? The casing allows the bullet to grip the internal rifling of the barrel without shearing the soft lead of the bullet. The tip helps the bullet expand upon impact allowing all the energy of the moving bullet to be passed on to the thing you have pointed the gun at.

Does a rifle need bullets or gun powder?
All firearms need: A projectile such as a bullet, gun powder to propel the bullet out of the barrel of the gun, and a cartridge to hold them together. Gun powder only explodes and the force from the explosion propels the bullet out of the barrel, basically. The cartridge is disposed of thereafter. A bullet will not move unless the gunpowder behind it explodes. This is the basic operation of a firearm/rifle.
What is the average impact of a bullet?
It depends on what you mean by "average impact."
